description<\/strong><\/span>
\nBeirut, 1982.\u00a0During the\u00a01982 Lebanon War, an Israeli fighter pilot, Yoni, is shot down over\u00a0Beirut\u00a0and captured by the\u00a0Palestine Liberation Organization. Fahed, a precocious young Palestinian refugee\u00a0who is angered by the death of his father in an Israeli air attack, agrees to help Yoni escape and lead him out of the city if Yoni will get him over the border and back to his family’s ancestral village. As they embark on a\u00a0hazardous road trip across the war-ravaged country, Yoni and Fahed move from suspicion and mutual antagonism to a tentative camaraderie as they make their way closer to the place they both call home.<\/p>\n

summary review<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe film starts out strong but devolves fairly rapidly into a sentimental, road buddy tale. Not possible as reality so best to enjoy it as a\u00a0feel-good, fable of enemies growing to endure\/like love each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
